The hype
Travelers love the location and the rooftop vibes but consistently mention how tight the quarters are.
Grayson Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
$170-270/ noc
Zarezerwuj to, jeśli You want a brand-new, industrial-chic crash pad with killer Empire State Building views and a rooftop bar that actually impresses locals.
Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Unobstructed Empire State Building views from 'Empire View' rooms
- Bar Cima on the rooftop offers legitimate Mexican mixology and panoramic skyline views
- Location is dead-center: 3 minutes to Bryant Park, 5 to Fifth Ave, but just off the chaotic main drag
Szybki przegląd: The rooms are micro-sized and the concrete ceilings look unfinished on purpose, but the location and rooftop make up for the squeeze.
Przejrzane przez @Latonyameason: I stayed here for our anniversary and was blown away by the service. The team left us wine and a sweet note, and the room's moody lighting set the perfect tone. It felt like our own private NYC apartment.

Reality check
You might think the room isn't finished because of the exposed concrete ceiling—it is, that's just the 'vibe'.
- You are a solo traveler or a couple comfortable with intimacy (glass bathrooms!)
- You prioritize a high-energy rooftop scene over square footage
- You are a Hyatt loyalist (Globalist breakfast at Harta is excellent)

- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable; guests consistently praise the staff for being thorough.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. No recurring reports of mold or grout issues, though the glass walls show smudges easily.
- Maintenance: Brand new feel, but the 'distressed' ceiling confuses some guests into thinking it's dirty.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and fresh; towels are standard Hyatt quality (decent, not ultra-luxe).
- Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh; no musty carpet smells (mostly hard flooring).

Porady dla wtajemniczonych
- ✨
The 'destination fee' often includes a daily credit for the bodega/grab-and-go—use it for your morning coffee since there's no machine in the room.
- ✨
Take the elevator to the rooftop (Bar Cima) even if you aren't drinking; the outdoor terrace has one of the best free views of the Empire State Building in the city.
- ✨
If the main elevators are backed up (common in the morning), ask staff if the service elevator is an option—sometimes they will usher you through.
5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'unfinished' ceiling is a design choice, not a renovation delay—expect raw concrete with markings.
💡The bathroom sink is often in the entryway, not inside the bathroom proper.
💡There is no dedicated desk in many 'Double' rooms; you get a small table instead.
💡The closet is often just an open rack or metal bar, not a full wardrobe.
💡You might hear the subway rumble faintly on lower floors (it's NYC, after all).
